Schmung's M3 + Jen's anims
Credits: Model: Schmung Skin: Stoke Animations: Jennifer!! Sounds: Vunsunta Compile: SureShot	Official Score » 9.6 Member's Score » 9.4 Downloads » 47538 Member's Fav's » 0 Overall Rating: 95.4% This M3 has been attempted before for CSS, but this one blows the older compile away. As someone who uses the shotgun... alot, I really enjoy using this weapon. The model is excellent. Nothing is blocky, everything is smooth and clean. The skin is great too, with just the right amount of wear and tear. The gun really looks like its made of metal. The animations appear to be updated from previous compiles using Jennifer's. I like them more than before, the pump action isn't so lazy like it used to be. This is going to be my M3 for a long time, I don't see how anyone could make a better M3, but if they can, they are most welcomed to do so.

Tactical Mossberg 590
Credits: Model: Ope Skin/Mesh: Creeping_Jesus Foregrip model: Version_2 Foregrip skin: pr0d!gy Stock model: Dark Hunter Stock skin: N|rvy CS:S compile: HellSpike Silvers, adjusted refs and sounds synchro: ziomek jebiesuki nabosaka Sounds: HK, modified by ziomek jebiesuki nabosaka	Official Score » 9.4 Member's Score » 9.2 Downloads » 31902 Member's Fav's » 0 Overall Rating: 93.4% This shotgun is based on the same model and skin as the Mossberg 590, however this version has different origins and a stock added to the model, along with various other colour and model size tweaks. It feels a lot beefier than the Mossberg and is definitely worth upgrading to if you havn't already. As you can probably guess this release includes new sounds, world models, and reflect maps. Update: Grey skin added, follow readme to properly install the skins. Review & Submission by Elanzer
Black and silver M3 + Jens anims
	Official Score » 9.0 Member's Score » 9.4 Downloads » 29096 Member's Fav's » 0 Overall Rating: 91.2% Anyone who's used the Doom 3 shotgun will feel immediately at home with this replacement, Jens anims just make it feel as if it has so much power behind it, it's seriously addictive to use round after round... The bad thing about it? Shells seem to skip ejection on occasion. Beside that, 100% pure unadulterated boomstick. The package also includes world models, some shiny reflect maps, and new high quality sounds. Review & Submission by Elanzer
Eichler's M3 Super90
Credits: Model: Eichler69 Mesh: Eichler69 Skin: Biohazard Reskins: Sandwich Compile: Hawk Convert to CS Source: Hawk	Official Score » 9.0 Member's Score » 9.2 Downloads » 60814 Member's Fav's » 0 Overall Rating: 90.9% This is one skin I loved in 1.6, and it still doesn't cease to make me stand in awe. This skin really shows the true power and potential of the M3 Shotgun, with the stains that remind one of its previous victories. With this in your hand, you can here it calling out "I'm gonna blow somone's head clean off!", and that's just why I love it so much!

Mossberg 590 + Jen's anims
Credits: Model: Ope Skin/Mesh: Creeping_Jesus Animations: Jennifer!! Compile: DikFaic Silvers & _refs: ZiomeK	Official Score » 9.0 Member's Score » 8.8 Downloads » 11162 Member's Fav's » 0 Overall Rating: 89.4% This shotgun is a definite keeper. It looks big and beefy ingame, and has an intimidating look. Never have I found the shotgun to be such a blast (no pun intended) shooting with, but this model makes the gun worthwhile. There are also world models included, and some updated textures to make it even more sharp. While I personally do not like one of the pump action animations, don't let that scare you into not trying it out. This is going to be in my source folder for a long time. Update: New skin added, includes reflect-mapping updated world models. Review & Submission by Milkman
Twinke & Thanez' M3
Credits: model: Twinke Masta uv's: Twinke Masta skin: Thanez animations: Valve compile: Mullet™ sounds: Valve/Vunsunta	Official Score » 8.8 Member's Score » 8.7 Downloads » 1361 Member's Fav's » 0 Overall Rating: 87.7% This M3 is a mixed bag for me, while I love Twinke & Thanez' work on this replacement, some things just feel a bit wrong about it. The model to me is worst part, it just seems too skinny. The skin is also lacking any reflects, which as always are by no means needed, but go a long way to please us with DX9 cards. Default animations also feature, which is fine for me as I'm not keen on the customs for shotguns, but expect an update with more versions soon anyway. Overall if you can get over the lack of beefiness then by all means, use. If you like chunkier shotguns I advise you to search for another. World models feature. Reviewe & Submission by Elanzer
Benelli M3 + Jen's anims
Credits: Model: - schmung (m3 + holo sight) - bullet_head (Fabarm) - ya moms (Lense) Skin: - splinter (fabarm) - thanez (Shell) - pr0digy (m3) - pete (Eotech) Animations: jennifer!! Compile: haggard	Official Score » 8.7 Member's Score » 8.5 Downloads » 4448 Member's Fav's » 0 Overall Rating: 86.4% If someone wants an alternative to the Mossberg 590's then this is what you need. This m3 comes in 4 different variants, standard (no pistol grip or sight), standard + sight (Eotech), pistol grip and pistol grip + sight. All the variants have great models and look great in game. They are big enough to take up a lot of the screen, especially when reloading. The skin is plain, not that there is much that needs detailing, but the metal effect works, and the subtle reflect maps are good. The animations are okay, kind of lazy in my opinion, but not flawed. Nowhere as frenzied as the defaults. With the many different models and overall visual quality this is definitely a worthwhile download. Review & Submission by Milkman
SPAS 12
Credits: Model: Snark Skin: Giz, Stoke, Robert Olender Original Compile: Stoke Convert/Compile: LogiMen	Official Score » 8.5 Member's Score » 8.8 Downloads » 19288 Member's Fav's » 0 Overall Rating: 85.9% This is my permanent M3 Shotgun skin now, it looks great with all its good detail. It will give the shotgun that power edge that it always lacked to show its true strength mentally. I will guarantee you will have satisfactory but there is 1 think that lets it down. The player view, once you drop it on the floor, you see default. But apart from that it is a cool, sleek gun worth getting. Review: footychimp Submission: LoGix
Mossberg Cruiser + Hav0c's anims
Credits: Model: Silvio Dante Skin: Twinke Masta Anims: Hav0c Compile: Hav0c	Official Score » 8.4 Member's Score » 8.6 Downloads » 5653 Member's Fav's » 0 Overall Rating: 84.6% This is a stripped-down, sawed-off, and other words ghettoized shotgun. The model is small and simple like the Mossberg should be. The skin is what really stands out about this release. The scratches on the metal look great and so does the wood furniture. Hav0c's animations are used, and in my opinion work better than Jennifer’s. The origins seem much too low though. World model included, although it looks a little funny because of the strange shape of the pistol grip. Review & Submission by Milkman
SPAS 12 + Jen's anims
Credits: Model: - Snark (Spas) - Valve (Pump) - candied_clown (hook) Skin: - Giz & Stoke (Spas) - candied_clown (Skin Hack) - VertThrasher (Recolor & Tritium) Turbosmoothed Barrel: Logger Animations: Strykerwolf, Jennifer!! Compile: candied_clown	Official Score » 8.6 Member's Score » 8 Downloads » 11681 Member's Fav's » 0 Overall Rating: 84.2% The M3 section has seen a few SPAS-12's but I would like to think this has been the best attempt at making one for CSS so far. The base model has been seen before, its very blocky like a real shotgun, but despite realism, it just isn't that great until you add a few things on. Those things to add on here are mainly the stock, which is folded over in the configuration that is most often seen. There is a version of the gun with a hook, which in real life would be used to make this gun operational with one hand, has no real purpose here, other than to look ugly and block the player view. I strongly suggest installing the other version of the model, which is pictured here. The skin is dark and not all that detailed, but the normals on the reciever help a little, while the reflect maps on the pump action are way too over done. The animations are okay, but are not as good as Jennifer's latest ones. The custom sounds are good, actually sound like a gun firing unlike the default, and there are world models, but there is one small error, the pump has one-sided polys, so when looking at the gun from the front you can see though the pump from the inside. Not that you will notice, if you that close to the shotgun your probably already dead. Note: Follow the Readme closely to properly install the two model varients for this release.
